    WooCommerce AliExpress Dropship

    Updated 31 May 2023

    Dropshipping is a shipping method where the online store owners don’t keep the products stocked in their own store. Instead, all the products are stored in various third-party warehouses across the region.

    So when a customer places an order, the product is directly shipped from the nearest warehouse instead of the store. 

    Now, the admin can import products from AliExpress into his store. And can start selling those products within his own store very easily.

    To place the orders at AliExpress the admin just needs to click a single button and then make the payment as we have automated the order process for AliExpress Orders.

    Note: To Import products from AliExpress the user first has to install WooCommerce AliExpress Importer to his Chrome browser.
